Sector Coordination is provided by five sector coordinators under the direction of the Director of the Office of Community Conservation. They work with local community associations, business groups, institutions and non-profit organizations to ensure that defined community priority needs are met in a timely and cost-effective manner. The County is divided into five sectors: Southwest, Northwest, Central, Northeast, and Southeast. A map is included showing the five sectors. Each coordinator is assigned to a specific sector. The coordinators serve as "Project Managers" and work closely with the Administration and County Council members to ensure that the full range of County resources and skills are brought together to implement specific projects.
These specific projects focus on community-based solutions and are included in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) mandated County's Consolidated Plan 2007-2011, which details how the County will use local and State resources, as well as funds from the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG).
Several community and business organizations are supported each year through operating grants in order to provide services within multi-family housing communities and along commercial corridors. These grants are monitored by the sector coordinators and are intended to provide initial support for these groups.
